An eight line poem



“Places I love, come back to me like music. Hush me and heal me

when I am very tired…” - Sara Teasdale

USE THE ABOVE QUOTE AS YOUR INSPIRATION FOR YOUR POEM


I think of the faces when I think of the places
I love. It’s hard to think of a place
Without putting a face or two there.
My mother waving goodbye
Trying hard not to cry.
She gave a bright smile as I drove away
She always knew I would never stay.
